<h3 style="text-align: center;">Jamie Foxx&#8217;s Details Prior &#8220;Medical Complication&#8221; In Emotional Speech</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/entertainment/jamie-foxx-awards-speech/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, Foxx surprised fans by appearing at the Critics Choice Association‘s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino, and AAPI Achievements on Monday, December 4.</p>
<p>The 55-year-old was honored with the Vanguard Award for his performance in the 2023 thriller and drama, &#8216;<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5648882/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Burial</a>.&#8217;</p>
<p>The outlet reports that Foxx received a standing ovation as he walked on stage. From there, the actor thanked the audience and explained that he&#8217;s &#8220;been through some things.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You know, it&#8217;s crazy; I couldn&#8217;t do that six months ago. I couldn&#8217;t actually walk,&#8221; Foxx told the crowd, getting emotional.</p></blockquote>
<p>The 55-year-old went on to humorously deny rumors he&#8217;s been &#8220;cloned&#8221; before pivoting back to his health scare.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It feels good to be here,&#8221; Foxx explained. &#8220;I cherish every single minute now; it&#8217;s different. You know, it&#8217;s beyond — I wouldn&#8217;t wish what I went through on my worst enemy &#8217;cause it&#8217;s tough when it&#8217;s almost over&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Foxx went on to joke that he &#8220;saw the tunnel&#8221; but &#8220;didn&#8217;t see the light.&#8221;</p>
